The accumulation of various
25-hydroxylated C27-bile alcohols in blood and their
excretion in urine are characteristic features of cerebrotendinous
xanthomatosis (CTX) a recessively inherited inborn error of bile acid
synthesis caused by mutations in the mitochondrial sterol
27-hydroxylase (CYP27) gene. These bile alcohols may be
intermediates in the alternative cholic acid side chain cleavage
pathway. The present study was undertaken to identify enzymes and
reactions responsible for the formation of these bile alcohols and to
explain why Cyp27 / mice do not show
CTX-related abnormalities. Microsomal activities of
5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 -triol 25- and 26-hydroxylases,
5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 ,25-tetrol 23R-,
24S-, and 27-hydroxylases and testosterone
6 -hydroxylase, a marker enzyme for CYP3A, in
Cyp27 / mice livers were markedly
up-regulated (5.5-, 3.5-, 6.5-, 7.5-, 2.9-, and 5.4-fold,
respectively). In contrast, these enzyme activities were not increased
in CTX. The activities of 5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 -triol 25- and
26-hydroxylases and 5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 ,25-tetrol 23R-, 24R-, 24S-, and
27-hydroxylases were strongly correlated with the activities of
testosterone 6 -hydroxylase in control human liver microsomes
from eight unrelated donors. Troleandomycin, a specific inhibitor of
CYP3A, markedly suppressed these microsomal side chain hydroxylations
in both mouse and human livers in a dose-dependent manner.
In addition, experiments using recombinant overexpressed human CYP3A4
confirmed that these microsomal side chain hydroxylations were
catalyzed by a single enzyme, CYP3A4. The results demonstrate that
microsomal 25- and 26-hydroxylations of
5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 -triol and microsomal 23R-, 24R-, 24S-, and 27-hydroxylations of
5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 ,25-tetrol are mainly catalyzed by
CYP3A in both mice and humans. Unlike
Cyp27 / mice, CYP3A activity was not
up-regulated despite marked accumulation of
5 -cholestane-3 ,7 ,12 -triol in CTX.
